The goal of project wolfcoin is to make a modern golang currency, in the style of Algorand, but much simpler and with the Cardano style of staking.
We encourage you to rent a server on do or vultr and sell us your CPU cycles and your good name. If you read my how to bank in the modern era post you'll see I come from the background of a former ADA Cardano stake pool operator.
I got a bunch of commits in this other wolf project and was using it to run 3 different pools, each with a relay. I finally realized at those numbers, I was better off just getting 6% from Algorand via coinbase.
But something about waiting for these 5 day epochs with Cardano got me thinking about this other other wolf project which you can see live in a modern browser at: wolfschedule.com
If you get some message about WASM it means your browser isn't modern. Try firefox. But with the Cardano system, you get your rewards every 5 days. And there is this big countdown to each of the 5 day periods. I remember many times being excited about the epoch ending tomorrow or in a few hours. It becomes like pay day.
This code is an adventure into making a genesis file with 30,000 ed25519
public keys, and another file with those same private keys, and giving each
address 1,000,000 wolfcoin (WC) in a var called books that's a map from string
to int64.
Everytime a transaction matches the private key, it's writen to a file tx.log.
Try for 100% golang! No need for C please.
When starting a new node from scratch, catchup mode is default.
Very simple and easy to follow path from main.go to where juicey details like DNS record used to find 1st peer, or how double spend is prevented, or where rewards are calculated.
Tiny amount of code. The number of lines of go code for wolfcoin should be 10% of Algorand, maybe even less, maybe 1%.
New people get to start with very little money and earn rewards on each moon event. With Cardano you won't earn rewards with a small amount of ADA.
You can read this post on how to understand your new calendar. And if you get the WASM running
try the letter u or d on keyboard to move up or down dates.
There is an event just as important as sunrise and sunset in our lives, think of it as moonrise, moonset, and they happen about every 15 days. What could be better? You're getting a huge windfall of newly minted wolfcoins at these piviotal moments.
If you are skeptical, all I can say is A-B test it. It can help with many things like:
Having trouble picking a date in the future and commiting to something? Now you have very solid anchor dates available.
Got the Monday thru Friday blues? This shakes everything up. Like a wonderful reset. Soon you'll find yourself doing some activity in the middle of the day on a Tuesday and before you'd be stuck in that i-must-be-working-and-productive-zombie-zone.
Want to work hard and really acheive something? Now you've got ~15 days! Go for it, run run run!
Want to chill and take a cycle off? That's encouraged.
On the coinbase application for listing a new currency it asks that big question: why?
I want a simpler golang codebase than Algorand, I want the Cardano staking model, I want true decentralization by encouring anyone with enough money to rent just 1 server to particpate in the proof of stake CPU network, and I want people to break free from a calendar that's not helping us.
